The new beta is awesome, of course! Buuuuut...
I think it'd be nice to have a "torque" option, or maybe a "torque/hp" ratio for balance, because sometimes heavy tractors or monster trucks shouldn't need 999,999hp to climb a hill, but instead more torque!
Normally I'd post this on the user voice site, but since the wheels and car engine are currently in beta, I figured I'd just do here for now.
@AndrewGarrison pls i need torque and rpm option n more engine plzzz
Needs engine RPM too.
As well as some other things, i have a suggestion post on it.
Wait is torque optimized in the game?
There's a temporary solution for that: Set the car engine's input to Trim or VTOL. With that inputs, you can accurately control your car's engine power.
THAT's the thing that keeps on circulating on my mind @HellFireKoder.. The option to choose if the engine will go on torque or top-speed, without changing the bhp..
@ElGatoVolador thats not true
@HellFireKoder yah I guess you're right
The ask might be too high here, but a reverse gear and options for gears would be nice. By the way, the idea to hide rotators on free spin was brilliant. @AndrewGarrison
@HellFireKoder I'm looking into the car engine today. Right now it has other problems that I'm hoping to figure out and if I can think of a way to do something like you've suggested I'll give it a go.
@JoeySellers
@AndrewGarrison @PhilipTarpley @NathanMikeska ??????????
@Somethingismadebyme @fishheads88 The name doesn't need to indicate everything you can do in the game.
And with all the CAR ENGINES, WHEELS, PISTONS, NEW ROTATORS, AND SHOCKS that they just added, the game isn't simple anymore as it is, adding a simple torque option would hardly make it less simple.
@Somethingismadebyme true that
Yeah cool everything but it hink that then Game would lose its own NAME "Simple Planes"

This is so truemm.
Maybe we could just choose how many gears the engine's transmission has (without adding a whole transmission block)
I agree that there is something 'off' about the HP matter then again theoretically a 50 hp engine if you take the rpm out of the equasion can move hundreds of tons at an infinitely increasing speed. I think that's where this beta is lacking.
One other thing, while width and height of blocks have been reduced to a minimum of 0.25 why was length not similarly reduced? I was looking forward to making various detailed parts with that new feature. I'm grateful for what we've gotten thus far, don't get me wrong, but could it hurt that much to bring length down to the same?
On the reverse note, I've a question; If part count is what deems whether mobile users can DL and use a build why are we restricted to a maximum height/width/length of 5? Ship hulls and large aircraft designs could be made with a whole lot fewer parts without those limits?
Also, when you add more hp and rpm more cylinders appear.
+1, and I don't think 50hp should move 15 tons at 100mph either.
Yes!!
yes please! the game really needs it.
